A Metal Detector

Friends of ours have a medal detector. They have a lot of fun with it. Their grandkids love visiting and going on “hunts”. They make it sound like tons of fun and laughter. They haven’t found any thing of value yet, unless you count time spent with the kids, grandkids and even each other.

My hubby and I have discussed the possibility of getting a metal detector. Of course he wants to find a treasure worth a lot of money, while I just want to find some Indian (Native American) and Civil War artifacts for myself. And then there is the fact that we, hubby and I, would be doing something together.

Now don’t get me wrong, we do a lot of things together. We go to the stables to get manure, work in the garden, cut, split and stack fire wood. We also go grocery shopping together, to the bank, and the hardware store. So as you can see, we do a lot together. And I wouldn’t want to do any of that stuff without my hubby. But I just thought it would be nice to do something fun together. Not that all the other things can’t fun. They are, but they are also necessary too.

I thought if we got a metal detector, we could go for a walk in the woods together with the hopes of finding something other than fire wood. We could walk around our property with the hopes of finding something other than a lost whatever thingy that came off something-or-other.

Well, I did some hunting and checking on-line. There are a lot of metal detectors out there. Some have all kinds of bells and whistles and doodads, with prices to match. And then there are some that have nothing extra built in but still have nice price tags. Then there are some that have really nice little price tags but are made really cheaply.

So I started asking around. You know, my friends and people I know from church and all. And everyone said the same thing. Bounty Hunter was the best. Not only that, the price wasn’t bad either. So I let my fingers do the checking, I went on-line. Then I did some reading, on-line. And I think I found the metal detector for us.

It’s a Bounty Hunter. The model is called Gold Digger. There are some bells and whistles, but the price isn’t bad at all. It can detect gold, silver, and a lot of other metals. And what I like best is that it comes with a head set so no one else can hear it pinging when you come across something. It also has some kind of stabilizing thingy that makes it easier for the detection devices to detect while you are “gently swinging” it back and forth just inches off the ground.

From the way things read about the Bounty Hunter metal detector, it sounds perfect for us. I will start talking about it, and before next summer gets here, I will just about have my hubby convinced it was his idea to get it. Its either that or I write a letter to Santa!
